    Indeed we do... Yet as Paul says, we are to "run the race set before us..." Hence the ongoing struggle... One sin at a time, and so often, we find that we have a sin of which we were unaware... And as the Psalmist writes: "For I know mine iniquity, and my sin is ever before me..." We have...

    The big sin you hate is YTG calling us unto repentance for our Salvation by God... Both YTG and I affirm with John the Baptist and Jesus that repentance is our preparation for and prior to Salvation by God... Arsenios

    We see the Church as a Hospital for the sick and the wounded... According to the Parable of the Good Samaritan... A sinner in repentance from sin is still a sinner... He is simply in repentance from his sin(s)... We see Christian life as a struggle of unseen warfare against demonic powers...

    Do you differentiate obedience to Christ from following the Law of Moses? Or are you lumping them together? Arsenios

    Doing the will of the Father attracts God's Mercy... Doing the will of Satan repels it... Now it is true that the departure of God's Mercy is itself a Great mercy... But even within God's Mercy, we have an ever present need for it... "We call upon Thy Name..." Similarly with Salvation...

    The Parable of the Unjust Judge... And more than that, God is always giving us exactly what we need... So why would I ask for other than that for myself? All I do is pray for His Mercy... If my toe hurts, I don't pray for an analgesic... Though sometimes I might buy one... Arsenios

    Well ya gotta be careful... I mean, you are right - Menno loves to pray for God to get me to agree with Menno! :) I NEVER pray for some specific outcome like that... I simply pray: "Lord have Mercy on Menno..." Period... I really get gun-shy about telling God what to do about changing...

    I debated in high school... It involves persuasion... Marshalling and interpreting facts... I do not remember well enough... And debating does not save anyone... But God does... So I pray for others... And besides, debate is ego-centered... Me right, you wrong! Right smashes wrong...

    Old Testament pre-Christian Salvation was by the Holy Spirit's visitation on the OT Saints... Moses, for instance, encountered God on the mountain, and his face shone so bright he had to hide it... Elijah brought the widow's son back to life... Called down fire... But Christian Salvation is...

    Thanks, MC... I understand that the Marian dogmas, especially that of the I/C, are more recent... But not that of the assumption, of course... That is a belief held by the EOC from the beginnings... We have never dogmatized it... So your post got me to asking: "Why dogmatize?" Your post...

    Thank-you for engaging the text... For by the Grace you exist having been Saved through the Faith... And this not of yourselves... Of God the Gift... So the "this" refers to your existence as Saved, by God's Grace, through the Faith... It is an abstract pronoun which refers to what went...
